Hello everyone. My name is Murat. I am new to the forum. I've been a photographer all my life and they shooting many different brands and always wanted to get into the Leica world. Currently I shoot Sony A7RIII, several Gmasters (70-200, 24-70), and have couple Fuji X mounts with many great primes and 100-400 I use for wildlife, mainly birds. I have an Xpro-2 and XT2. I hate to admit but I also have several OM bodies with some primes. As you can tell I do have GAS and collected too many systems. Each has pros. When I shoot professional work (not my full time job), I use the Sony. Great resolution (although besides cropping, I dont have a need for large resolutions.). For personal day to day shooting, family pets, kids, holidays etc. I use my Fujis. I love the tactile feeling of Fuji and the colors. The Xpro2 with a 28mm prime will be my desert island camera/lens. When I leave home, that’s what I pick everytime. Anyways, I decided to sell all my gear and switch to Leica. I went to a Leica store for the first time and I think I need to get a second mortgage soon. LOL. So here are my thought. I was thinking about getting an SL2-S (low lightr performance is great and I like shooting indoors, no flash) with the 24-70 kit. Order the M11 (I love the format and the feeling of the whole range finder system). Get one prime, may be a 35 or 50 that i can use on the SL2-s with the adaptor while waiting for the M11 to become available. Than I will have best of both worlds (not necessarilty the M11 and SL2-s) meaning a full frame large body with large lenses and a range finder. Thoughts? Suggestions. Comments. Should I be considering the 24-90 lens instead (like the 24-70 size, weight and constant aperture.) Should I be starting with some cheaper alternative M lenses like a Voitlander? I know too much to ask but any feedback appreciated. I am sure there are Sony/Fuji/Other System converts here that can share experiences and lessons learned. Thank you... Murat

By way of introduction, I just took delivery today of a pristine M240. The whole box and contents. And it works! Currently I have an old Pentax SMC 50mm f/1.4 on it along with an Olympus VF-2 to make the lens easier to work with on this camera. My M8.2 uses a nice Canon 28mm f/2.8, a CV 35mm 1.4 MC II and a nice Jupiter 9 85mm f/2. So, two cameras, four lenses and a severely depleted wallet. I am off to Portland tomorrow to get the guys at my camera store to bless the camera and then on Saturday a trip to a lovely village (?) in Washington, Oysterville. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oysterville%2C_Washington) Very photogenic and they have their Halloween pumpkins and decorations out to color up the homes and gardens. I'll use the M 240, the M8.2 and two non-Leicas to see how they compare.
